I’m 70 and I’m worried about my grandson. Since my daughter’s marriage ended she’s been mentally unstable and she’s been treating me badly for the past five years. She’s catty and resentful and asks for money. She’s highly qualified but can’t hold down a job.

My daughter had an affair with a married man and had the most beautiful child, a boy whom I helped look after since he was four months old. He is now four years old. After giving up my life for four years, she kicked me out because she was jealous of my bond with the child.

She now has a boyfriend and I suspect she verbally abuses her son. I also suspect she smacks him. She’s bipolar, and her moods are terrible, especially after wine (although she is on medication). I also don’t like the boyfriend, who has admitted to smacking my grandson.
